Starting on the back nine Saturday, Ballo opened his round with two bogeys and two birdies in the first five holes. He then made par on holes 15 through 18 to be even par through the first nine. After back-to-back bogeys to open the second half of his round, Ballo birdied the par-four fourth and the par-five fifth to get back to even on the day. He also birdied the seventh to be one under for the round, but finished with bogeys on eight and nine to finish at one-over.
